Lets see, I think that "The Hall of the Mountain King" was from the "Peer Gynte Suite" by Edvard Greig a 19th Century Norwegian Composer, but your real close....
Here is another verse..
The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun.
I walk a road, horizons change
The tournament’s begun.
The purple piper plays his tune,
The choirs softly sing;
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue,
For the....................
And if you know thew name of the band you will know the name of the song....

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

Unless I'm thinking of the wrong song, I think it's I'm going to camp out on the land and try to get my soul free, is this correct?
Or maybe it's not the Joni Mitchell song I'm thinking of after all.
Oh, and IF I have the right song, your taste in music isn't half bad at all! :)

You are correct! Figures-my first try at the game and I leave out a word...sigh.
"I'm going to camp out on the land and get my soul free..."
I'll do better next time.
The floor is yours, after you put up the song title.

Hey, that's ok! Woodstock is a cool tune!
Matter of fact, I'm still working and don't have time to think of a good one so why don't you go ahead and take my turn?

Well, thank you, gentle soul! Let's see if I can get it right this time.
"He couldn't take no more abuse so he shot down the congregation".
As you can see I enjoy those spirtiual, uplifting tunes.

Ok, I know this isn't a PC song now: got a lot of airplay when it was first released.
********** **** he bought a shotgun,
'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation.
He just let it all hang loose.
He didn't think about the noose.
He couldn't take no more abuse,
So he shot down the congregation.
That ought to help.

6 days having passed, I'm running a new song.
"I believe in rags to riches-
Your inheritance won't last.
So take your Gray Poupon my friend
And shove it up your @$$!"

"Believe in all the good things
That money just can't buy,
Then you won't get no bellyache
From eatin' humble pie.
I believe in rags to riches-
Your inheritance won't last.
So take your Gray Poupon my friend
And shove it up your @$$!"

80's, 90's, 50's (ha)?
For those of us (ok, just me) apparently musically illiterate, a little hint.

I'd say late 80s-early 90s.
If you liked video arcade games, you might be able to hum the song
all the way through.

Thanks for trying.....

It's not the theme to Dig-Dug, Popeye, Berzerk, or Missle Command, either. I guess I stopped playing video games too soon!
